I have a g2c first day ran 500 rnds of shit Winchester steel case ammo only issue was ammo one split case . ran flawlessly. I smithed my slide it's a competition tight tack driver. Neon orange sharpies front dot and neon green sharpies the two rear dots perfect sight picture for about 6 buck's from Hobby Lobby. I use shooters choice fp10 to lube the gun its an anti friction metal treatment anti corrosion cleaner best stuff ever. Shout out from New Braunfels Texas. Keep rocking the taurus Sir. Ya really need to check out the testing video on KZbin of muscle mt10 or firepower fp10 it's the same stuff as shooters choice fp10. Truly best stuff it evens pressure in barrels anti friction over all more accurate and better for your guns they last longer .

[@lonestar4775]

Glad to hear how well your G2C has done for you! Proper maintenance as you illustrated served you well. I have G2C shots well and recently purchased a G3C and it shoots well also! This one was more expensive because of the times but I love both guns! Thank you for your service and long live the Republic!

They've all been extremely reliable exclamation point and they are all my EDC thank you for the video extremely informational and reassuring!

[@rbm6184]

FTE. After 4000 rounds its high time you cleaned your extractor. The extractor and spring probably has crud in it after all this time or extractor and spring replacement. Clean the striker/firing pin also. Check for wear or damaged parts. There are videos on KZbin that will show you how to take your slide completely down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2i3f357jZuYnKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3q7fmmbprmce5I

Good point, On my list of things to do.

[@rbm6184]

@@tmcdaniels2000 The G2c has one of the best extractor/ejectors I have ever seen. It consistently ejects cases at the four o'clock seven or ten feet away into a pile.

I was a big fan until you had to throw your God stuff in there. I don't appreciate being tricked into listening to your cult stuff. I prefer to stay grounded, and listen to people that don't believe in fairytales, especially in politics and weaponry. I do respect your right to believe in whatever you want, but please don't trick others into having to hear it. That being said, if you're still reading, you seem like a good man, and come off as an honest person. I respect the hell out of your cleaning regimen, and that you've shown these Taurus haters than the G series is like no other pistol they;'ve ever made, good on you, sir! Thank you for the video! Of 4 options, all more or less double the price of my G3C, I've replaced the front site with a tritium y/g, and rear with a little more accurate(in my case) Glock site. It is and will be my edc of choice for as long it fits comfortably in my waist, and on my belt :D I love the grip, price, comfort, rounded edges with hardly any print at all! (that's amazing btw, and few talk about it, more SHOULD!). Let us know I you make it 5k, you might be breaking records!! :D I've seen a few people so in love with them, they actually had the slide laser cut, and added a Lakeland barrel (the twist one). that's just one example, these pistols are loved. I'm not big on gold and black, but damn it looks good, even has a suppressor screw tip(allegedly heh). peace to you, and thanks for the great video.

You've got a lot to learn Jey. God created you and he doesn't like being called a fairy. He died for your many sins just like he did mine. Jesus rose again 3 days after death. You may know about guns but you know nothing about God. I don't know much about guns but I've had over 40 years studying the King James Bible. It's the sharpest sword available according to Hebrews 4 :12. Armageddon will be fought on horseback with swords. No guns at that time. This world is passing away. The world is setting up to bring in their phoney Savior. But shortly after ( 3.5 years) the true Saviour Jesus Christ will throw him in Hell and will stomp on UN troops and their blood will go for 200 mile in the valley of Megiddo up to the horses bridle. More bloodshed than all wars combined. Get on the winning side my friend. Call on Jesus to save your soul today. Anyone's opinion about God without looking at the multitudes of facts doesn't mean much.
